Water absorption of wood plastic composites (WPCs) manufactured from sawdust and virgin and recycled plastics (HDPE and PP) was studied. Wood flour was prepared from sawdust and mixed with different virgin or recycled plastics at 50% by weight fiber loading. The mixed materials were compression molded into panels. Water absorption of manufactured WPCs was determined after 2 and 24 h immersion in distilled water at different temperatures (25, 50 and 70 C). WPCs containing recycled plastics exhibited higher water absorption especially when the two recycled plastics were mixed together. Immersion temperature had a significant effect on water absorption.
